How To Use
  • For best results, use exactly as directed by your doctor and for the full time prescribed.
  • Stopping Quixin too soon may result in a return of the infection.
  • Do not wear contact lenses.
  • They may interfere with the treatment of your eye infection.
  • To apply eye drops, wash your hands first.
  • To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your eye or any other surface.
  • Tilt your head back, gaze upward, and pull down the lower eyelid to make a pouch.
  • Place the dropper directly over the eye and instill the prescribed number of drops.
  • Look downward and gently close your eye for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Place one finger at the corner of the eye near the nose and apply gentle pressure.
  • This will prevent the medication from draining away from the eye.
  • Try not to blink and do not rub the eye.
  • Do not rinse the dropper.
  • Replace the dropper cap after use.
  • If you are using another kind of eye medication (e.g., drops or ointments), wait at least five minutes before applying other medications.
  • Use eye drops before eye ointments, to allow the eye drops to enter the eye.

Side Effects
  • Vision problems (e.g., temporarily decreased or blurred vision), fever, headache, eye irritation or stinging, swelling of the eyelid, eye dryness and itching, or sore throat.
  • If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor promptly.
  • An allergic reaction to Quixin is unlikely, but seek immediate medical attention if it occurs.
  • Symptoms of an allergic reaction include: rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, trouble breathing.
  • If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Precautions
  • Tell your doctor your medical history, including: allergies (especially to quinolone antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin), contact lens use.
  • Because your vision may be temporarily blurred or decreased after using Quixin, use caution driving or performing activities requiring clear vision.
  • Repeated use of Quixin or using it for a longer time than prescribed by your doctor may result in a different, more serious, infection.
  • Quixin should be used only when clearly needed during pregnancy.
  • Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.
  • It is not known whether Quixin passes into breast milk.
  • Because of the potential risk to the infant, breast-feeding while using Quixin is not recommended.
  • Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.

Missed Dose
  • If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you remember.
  • If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule.
  • Do not double the dose to catch up.

Drug Interactions
  • Tell your doctor of all prescription and nonprescription medication you may use, especially of: caffeine, theophylline, blood thinners (e.g., warfarin), cyclosporine, other antibiotics, other eye medications.
